As the holidays approach, there are often some who could use some additional support. We have made a group decision to provide service for 24 hours beginning this evening Weds Nov 21 and running through Thanksgiving Thursday Nov 22. If anyone is willing to offer their time sharing experience, strength, and hope with others for these 24 hours, please write in your online group name as well as the time you would be able to be in the meeting room for anyone who might show. I will begin by leaving my own name and time and others can leave theirs .. Genuine thanks to any and all who might be able and willing ..

Although I don't participate in the chat meetings, I just want to say I am grateful to all of you who step up to be there. Having support available on a holiday is so meaningful to me. I'll be at a F2F meeting on Thanksgiving Day, but I will add you folks to my gratitude list. Thank you for your service!

I also applaud each of you for your service to those in Al-Anon recovery! I spent a ton of time 'there' when I was newer in recovery and it was such a gift for those moments when I was surrounded by complete chaos and insanity! All of you are also on my gratitude list - thank you for your service and Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!!!

Thank you all volunteers who helped with this project. Although I'm just now finding out about it, I've always loved the concept. Will try to be more alert in future. Sometimes I think it would be helpful (for me ) lol......to have this service from now to New Year! wp
